Works great, some input issuesFoxIt Mobile PDF is as frustrating as it could be useful. If you are like me, and you use PDFs for more than just reading articles, you need an app like FoxIt Mobile PDF. But if you really are like me, and you use FoxIt PDF for work, you will be constantly enraged by its longstanding bugs.
First, the bad. Handwritten annotation is terrible and the FoxIt folks have shown no inclination toward fixing it. You can use your stylus or a finger to write notes in the margins of documents, draw stars and arrows, and underline text. However, if you lightly press the screen you will sometimes cause the image to zoom in and or out. If you stay with one line, i.e. cursive style writing, the annotating works as intended. If you write in block letters like most people, then you will become frustrated by the app unexpectedly zooming in and out. This is not a fat finger problem, as the same issue occurs with a stylus, even the fine Jot Pro.
Second, the mediocre. Everything else works well enough. You can rename PDFs, share them, highlight, text, sign documents, etc. Apple's iOS is already good about linking programs together, so opening a document from DropBox and saving back to DropBox is simple and easy. However, as noted in the apps Q&A, Tyne changes made to a PDF do not show up on any other app, including other robust PDF editors. There is no way to fix changes or know if a recipient will see them. For a business app, this is not good enough.

Functionally SuperiorBetter and more useful app than all the others I've tried, including some paid apps. Simple, intuitive and precise controls make it easier to focus on your work and get it done faster instead of having to waste time adjusting settings in the app.
